Jing Yi Chan leads Business and Operations at Entropica Labs. She holds a physics degree from Imperial College London where her final year research was on direct and indirect detection methods on identifying dark matter candidates.

Jing Yi started her career with IBM and has held various roles in ASEAN markets working with government, industry, and academic partners. She has also led the Cognitive Solutions portfolio in Singapore and held responsibilities for leading discussions and partnership engagements as IBM Quantum Distinguished Ambassador.

Shahidee Nur

Quantum Developer

From designing websites to designing software, Shahidee's experience in the world of programming started from a young age. Driven by his curiosity, a willingness to hone his craft and a desire to turn his imagination into reality, he began to participate in hackathons and data science competitions during his freshman year in university.

After pursuing a degree in Physics at NUS, he joined Entropica Labs as a Quantum Developer focusing on Software Development and Design. His unwavering optimism and a great sense of humour make for a great personality to be around.

Vishal Sharma

Quantum Algorithms Scientist

Vishal graduated in Engineering and Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India and the Ludwig Maximilians Universität Munich, Germany respectively. At Entropica, he studies the physics of these machines and explores the benefits of having a lower level (and finer) control over the qubits.When not thinking about Quantum Computers, Vishal loves to learn about the origin and evolution of languages, human migration patterns and tracing common origins. He appreciates minimalism in design and art and practices the same in choices and ownership. 

Adrien Vandenbroucque

Optimisation Scientist

Vandenbroucque | Optimisation Scientist

Adrien holds a Master’s degree in Data Science from EPFL (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne).

His interests span a whole range of topics, including quantum computing, information theory and machine learning. He likes to spend time understanding the theory behind mathematical problems and implementing solutions to have a real-world impact. He likes to play the guitar (which he takes wherever he travels), do martial arts, photography, and read books in his free time.

Rajesh Mishra

Quantum Algorithms Scientist

Rajesh is currently completing a Master in Mathematics from the National University of Singapore. He has worked in areas of noise tomography in quantum hardware, quantum error correction at Singapore's Centre for Quantum Technologies and recently in numerical linear algebra as part of his Masters' thesis.

Away from his desk, he dreams of being a triathlete (however he revealed that, in reality, he still can't swim). He satisfies his passion for exploration (nature and food) using his running shoes and bicycle. Apart from sports, he enjoys travelling, reading books, watching stand-up comedy and chatting with people about their burning passions.

Shao Hen Chiew

Quantum Computing Scientist

Shao Hen is originally from Kuala Lumpur. He is completing a double masters in physics (with the National University of Singapore) and engineering (with MINES ParisTech), where his research is in the domain of quantum information and dynamics of many-body quantum systems. He is mainly interested in quantum dynamics and quantum computation. During his free time, he enjoys cooking, reading and rock climbing.

Meng Hua

Quantum Computing Scientist

Meng is completing her PhD in Physics at the University of Virginia. She also holds a bachelors from Sun Yat-sen University. Her research focuses on the interplay of topology and quantum mechanics, exploring the deep connection between abstract math and physics. She also worked on topological order with emergent particles, a concept that might eventually lead to fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Meng is a fan of deep tech and always trying to make the future become real (a vision we eagerly embrace at Entropica). She played basketball for her school in college. In her free time, she enjoys playing GO and piano.

Anita Durr

Optimisation Apprentice

Anita is doing a Master degree in theoretical computer sciences at the EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne). She studied mathematics and physics during her multidisciplinary bachelor at PSL (University Paris Science et Lettres) and began to enjoy different aspects of computer sciences after attending the coding school 42. Quantum computing is one of her newest interest. She appreciates elegant solutions to difficult problems and seeks to learn more about quantum algorithms during her internship at Entropica Labs.

Anita is a huge escape game fan (she even designed one with friends) and likes to spend her time hiking in the mountains or tap dancing in her room.

Ezequiel Rodriguez Chiacchio

Quantum Computing Scientist

Ezequiel recently completed his PhD at the University of Cambridge, where he worked on open quantum system problems in the context of quantum optics. While passionate about quantum physics, he is always excited about learning new things, regardless of the specific field.

In his free time, he can be found at the dance studio taking classes or attending a live music event. He also enjoys exploring the city in the search for good coffee spots and hidden bookshops.

Katharina Prantl

Business Strategist

Katharina is a Managment&Technology student and Manage&More scholar at the Technical University of Munich. She is specialising in Innovation&Entrepreneurship and Computer Science. In her own words, "working at the urge to solve societal needs motivates me to do the best I can". When Katharina is not studying (or working), she is very keen on sports, especially watersports. She is a passionate swimmer (which she actually did on a competition level for some time) and only recently discovered her interest in kitesurfing. Next to all the action, she also enjoys relaxed days with an informative non-fiction book - which she also loves to discuss with others to get new inspiration.
